SAP HR Dashboarding using BW or BO?

I need you suggestion in our BW HR implementation, like Payroll, Time Mgt, Employee Relations, Learning & Dev etc..
All our reports are currently in SAP BO XI3.1, since we dont have any reports in BW, i am trying to avaluate the PROS and CONS of HR Dashboard Reporting in BO. Is BO tool XCelcius Capable for HR Dashboarding or what is the best Dashbording option for HR,
1) I would like to know how are HR BW Reports handled in BO tools(XCelcius/WebI) in view of HR Time Dependant data.
2) How is BW HR Authorizations handled for Payroll and Training moduled etc.
3) How will BO Dashboard Inherit the Authorization

You can leverage the BOE enterprise security and other features if you use Xcelsius.
You can also leverage your existing Universe and use 'QaaWS' - Query as WebService as the connection model and using SSO feature - LDAP or WinAD authentication enable RowLevel security on the data as well (feature of Universe)
We have done many projects using the Xcelsius, QaaWS with Univers

Substitute for filters in SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards

Dear all,
I am working on a dashboard application built on SAP Business Objects Dashboards 4.1.
When I deployed the application to an iPad, I realized that the filters present in the application are not supported by iPad.
Thus, is there any mobile-compatible component in SAP BO Dashboards which I can use in place of filrters for filtering the result during runtime?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks And Regards,
Nalin Dwivedi

In combo box, all I can do is select some values from one or more rows or cells in the excel and paste it to some other destination within excel. But my whole dashboard is query-based i.e. I have created query and my charts are getting the data directly from database during runtime. Thus, the query prompt selectors I have used are directly manipulating the data coming from the database.
Since query prompt selector are not supported in mobile mode, I need a substitute for it.
Combo box is not able to help till now because the values of combo box can not manipulate the data coming from database. Moreover, I am not sure if I have used the combo box properly.
If there is any way by which it can be done with using mobile-compatible components, then please suggest me about it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nalin

Can Xcelsius 2008 Engage coexist on the same machine as SAP Crystal Dashboard Design?

I still have the requirement to maintain dashboards created with Xcelsius 2008 SP5. Will the install of SAP Crystal Dashboard Design: Departmental overwrite or disable the ability to run Xcelsius 2008 on the same machine?

Thank you for the reply. I am not sure I phrased the question very well, as I said in the post I am aware Personal Edition does not require viewing licenses. What I was asking was whether the 'internal business use only' clause in the EULA prevented dashboards built with Personal Edition from being placed on external company sites?
If anyone could provide an answer to this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

SAP Crystal Dashboard Design Personal Edition - Lifeoffice available

We like to build a dashboard on Crystal Report Server
We wanted use the CRS + SAP Crystal Dashboard Design Personal Edition + CR or CRS + the package (CR + CX)
Does that include the lifeoffice Connecion?
Thanks for help

No direct way. But I had a similar requirement. Our team updates a central spreadsheet and our managers wanted to have a dashboard to reflect information entered on it. I ended up writing a VBA Macro using an XSD schema to use Excel XML Maps to export the spreadsheet data to .XML at the click of a button.
Then, in an Xcelsius model, I imported that same Excel XML Mapping .XSD schema into my model, and pointed it to the location of the exported XML file to then have "live" data whenever the source Excel file was saved. It seems an around the world way to get to Excel data (albeit in a separate file), seeing as the tool was originally written with Excel being the central focus.
There's also a more lengthly route to do it, but treating the Excel file as an ODBC source for a Crystal Report which Live Office will recognize which you can then use as a connection to Xcelsius, but that seemed even more painful for our purposes but in theory works.

Readymade Dashboards using R3 Connection

Dear All
Is there any readymade dashboards avaialble in Service Market Place or any SAP site, which uses R3 as connection and not BW.
If so kindly provide details. I was instructed that SAP already provides some readymade dashboards to the customers..
I searched for it but not able to locate.
Kindly indicate if it is so..
Regards,
Venkat

Hi,
I guess you are talking about dashboard using web services consuming R/3 data. But from a demo dashboard you cannot view the underlying data connection. Refer below links for demo dashboards. But those dashboards would be either exported version or XLF file. You can open XLF file with source excel data in your designer and view.
You can search for details about creating dashboard using R/3 data.
links to dashboard demo.

SAP B2B dashboard monitoring and it's features with examples/screenshots

Hi All,
I'm looking for SAP B2B dashboard monitoring and it's features with examples/screenshots. Can you guys help to detail it out pls
thx
mike

Hi Michael,
I have the impression that there is some misunderstanding wrt b2b monitoring in PI/PO. Let me shed some light into this.
The b2b monitoring as part of the b2b add-on and PI is actually an enhancement of the standard message monitor in PI. We have implemented a b2b view which shows you the b2b specific attributes such as sender id, ack status, interchange number, etc., instead of the PI specific information such as message GUID, sender party and component, etc. In addition, you can search the messages based on the b2b specific attributes. This works in tight integration with the Trading Partner Management (TPM) that we ship together with the b2b add-on where those partner specific attributes are maintained. You can access the b2b view either directly via the url mentioned above,.i.e., with alias /b2bmon or you can go to PI message monitoring via alias /pimon, this opens the a2a view, from here you can switch to the b2b view.
The b2b view is only available as of 7.4 SP9 and b2b add-on SP4 as mentioned in the note 1815991 - Enhanced Local Message Monitor for B2B Messages. Since you are on a lower SP, this is the reason that you cannot see it.
Whereas the local monitoring in PI gives you a status overview of your messages processed on the very PI runtime component, the Message Flow Monitor in SAP Solution Manager can be used for tracking your message from end-to-end, i.e., it provides you the status on each runtime component that the message goes through. Here, we also do support b2b scenarios. Like in the local b2b view, we show the ack status for technical and functional acks as well. Furthermore, we have built in a b2b specific search based on the TPM attributes.
I planned to write a blog on the new b2b view but haven't found the time so far, so stay tuned.

Hi Manish,
There is no guide to execute your project, but i can give some hints how to start. From the sceanrio you are talking below you have to do the following:
1. You can use Webservice of Java Proxies to establish communication from JBOSS to XI.
2. From XI to R/3, you have to use Idoc Adapter.
3. You can find more info on help.sap.com

Issue with Parent child dashboards using SWFLoader component

Hello Gurus,
I am using Parent-child dashboards approach in our project.
I have multiple child files embedded in Parent dashboard using the SWFLoader (directly passing the URL as SWFLoader value) to load child dashboards. All the child, parent swf's are saved in the same intranet folders.
When I open the parent SWF, everything loads fine in the intranet.
But for some users, when they open from the intranet, the child dashboard doesnt load up properly or size of the dashboard gets reduced to a small version. (Iam sure that it has nothing to do with the access/privileges)
Any thoughts/ideas what could be causing an issue with child dashboard/resizing of the child dashboard.
Please help!
regards,

SAP BO Dashboards 4.1 best practice on layout and components

Dear SCN,
I have requirement to create a BO 4.1 dashboard with data & Visualization based on a excel sheet which is currently in use as a Mgmt dashboard. The current excel dashboard is having more than 100 KPIs in one view which is readable only if you put in on a slide and view it in full screen by running a slideshow.
Question 1:
1. Being the suggested size of the Xcelsius canvas not more than 1024 X 768 so that it is viewable with out scroll bar in BI launchpad or in any browser or in pdf, I am trying to confirm in this forum that the canvas size of 1024 X 768 is the recommended maximum size for the dashboard to get the clear view in any browser/BI launchpad . Pls confirm as it will help me in doing the design for the KPIs and its visualization.
Question 2:
1. I am using the BICS connection and accessing the source data from BW. Because the no. of KPIs are more and ranging between 10 cubes and 40 queries as the data is across different modules, I would like to know what is the recommended no. of connections for queries /cubes in dashboard using BICS connectivity which does not affect the performance
2. For the same dashboard using BICS connection, What is ideal number of components like Charts/Scorecard/Spreadsheet table that is recommended to use to ensure better performance?
I appreciate your answers which can help the finalization of the dashboard design for this dashboard of data and visualization requirements which is very high when compared to the normal dashboards.
Thanks and Regards
Jana

Hi Suman,
Thanks for your answers.You answers and links which you have attached are helpful and It answered my questions related to canvas size and Connections.
I am expecting some benchmark numbers as per the best practices with respect to the No. of components to be used to ensure the better loading of the dashboard. As the increase in number of components increase the size of the dashboard and also it requires more time to load the data for the components, I am looking for the number as per the best practice by considering the below points.
1. When I say the no. of components, I am not considering the components like label, text box,combo box or list box. I am considering the components which is used for visualization and interactive drill down on top of the visualized charts ( For Eg. Column charts, Pie charts, Gauges ).
2.I am not going to use more calculations/formulas in my dashboards as the values and structure are almost the same with the BEx query.
3.Having around 10 to 12 connections.
4.The data sets are not more than 900 rows totally. For any control, we will be binding only 100 rows at the max as the data for the KPIs are summarized at the year/month level at the BW layer.
Since the KPIs are more, the Visualizations are more and we can't re-use the Visualization charts for most of the KPIs. Currently I am ending up with ~35 charts/ gauges along with other label and selection controls which I will be using to show 100 KPIs with unique visualization requirements and I am going for the tab-wise layout with more dynamic to accommodate and separate logically.
Hope these details will give clear picture of why I am looking for the Benchmark on No. of components .
I appreciate your help!
Thanks and Regards
Jana
